Remove the batteryWait, you can’t do that these days…With enough height, any drop would do. 😎 Follow me for more shitty advice.
That begs the question of whether the terminal velocity of a phone is enough to eject the battery.
Unless the height you’re dropping it from is on Jupiter
I tried typing
velocity
in the terminal and got avelocity command not found
.I guess the command crew is out on vacation, so no terminal velocity 🤔
I’m pretty sure it is, an arms height drop on the right angle can break open most smartphones, statistically speaking we need a bigger height to increase our chances.
So most modern smartphones do use adhesive strips to attach the battery to the midframe and its pretty strong… Which is why I always advise heating your device to 70c BEFORE lobbing it off the roof to help with battery removal!
Unfortunately my phone is rated to withstand such a fall…
May as well sign up for some Vim users groups, then.
I’m 6 feet 2 inches. Would that be high enough?
Too late. Removed batteries, now car doesn’t start ☹️
Not yet
Damn, I guess you need a new phone.
I’ve been telling myself that for a while.
I guess it’s time now.
You don’t exit Vim. Only Vim exits you.
There should be a hardware reset pin hole somewhere near the place where PIN/SD cards are placed. It was designed specifically for VIM users. Hold it with a narrow object.
EDIT: typo
I’m stealing this forever. Thank you.
I solemnly swear to explain “it’s for Vim users” every time I speak of those little pin reset buttons in the future.
Obviously, you need to feed the cow first!
Too late. You’ll need a new phone.
I’ve learned a few new commands now.
:e
dials an existing contact, and:w
saves contact information.:q!
is super useful for hanging up on robo-callersI think this thing could work… I dub it the vimphone!
Click the home button?
Force stop the app!! Turn off the phone!! Throw it into Mordor! Its literally the only way
I sense that the creature Golum may yet have some part to play before the end of this journey.

This is your life now.

Gotta save the cow. So type :wq
:x

Added context.
ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in)
: tells vim you are entering a command
q is the command for quit
! tells vim for force quit (without saving)
Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.

Where do you think I am posting this from?
If one can exit vim, one can exit anywhere.
You are correct. I can exit at any time but I choose to stay because it is nice here.
First: press escape
Then type
:!killall -s KILL vim
On some devices you can hold the back key to kill the foreground app.

You might also try Typing
:q
Is this real ? 😂
Try it to find out!
- Install Termux from F-Droid
- Open Termux, and run
pkg install gvim
. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try runningvim
- Launch
vim
- You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave…
pkg install gvim
Why install the gui version?
pkg install vim
Only
gvim
is available in pkg, notvim
. I had the same surprise when I didn’t seevim
.Works on my computer
This is from
termux
on my Android phone, not from my desktop/laptop.I’m using termux too
Yeah, why not? It’s just a terminal running vim.
Pull the power cord? Let the battery run out?
